"connect 80k simultaneous clients, logging in and out at an overall rate of 50Hz, and requesting pages at an overall rate of 100Hz"
lets model a client as a random walk on a state graph (a Markov chain), where the action taken by a client is drawn from a distribution conditioned on the current action. (TL;DR we will bootstrap frequency estimates from this representation using eigenvectors)
Missed out on our recent Arduino or soldering workshops? You’re in luck! In April, we’re running workshops as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival. We have four different workshops in the Festival programme, each one running twice during the two-week Festival: Getting started with Arduino Arduino is an easy to use microcontroller platform designed for Read more about New workshops for the Science Festival![…]
